Why is it free?

  The question is how is it free? They must be pulling the data from some free source else these real time stock quotes cost a lot.

    Yes, we are. We might have to move to a proper paid service like BATS when this gets bigger. http://www.quora.com/Stocks-financial/Where-do-sites-such-as-Google-Finance-get-real-time-financial-data-from http://www.quora.com/Stocks-financial/Where-do-sites-such-as...

  We're thinking of an up-sell strategy. Our team has a lot of financial experience (ex-wall street), and there are many advanced products such as portfolio analytics, diversification metrics and risk ratios etc. that we could sell. A basic stocks app is our way of reaching our target audience. To be honest though, this is more a guess that anything else. Hopefully we won't have to do banner ads without the app. Those are really ugly.
